It probably is not initializing the hardware properly the first time it is loaded, but it is being loaded.
No, the module is not being loaded. That is the problem. If the module is not loaded adding "modprobe -r lpfc" to the script does not harm. If the module is loaded the system will remove it and reload it. By the way, this would be required if you are switching between run levels. Mikkel, if you want more information regarding this problem go to the bug report referenced in my post regarding ISA sound module no longer supported
